This is where an individual can be stalked and harassed via the Internet, in conjunction to or instead of real-life stalking. It is deeply upsetting and just as dangerous and threatening.
It is a reportable offence, and can be reported to the police - either online, or by calling 101.
If you have been threatened or feel you are at risk of immediate danger, call 999.
You can be cyberstalked by either strangers or people who are known to you - for example, ex-partners/ boyfriends/ girlfriends. They find information about you via your online profiles and identity - even sometimes intimate details about your personal life and your current location.
